I agree, but my opinion is slighty bias as I think all things abandoned are beautiful:
Over a span of 6 years, artist Lauren Orchowski drove throughout North America documenting the Cold War-era rocket ship playgrounds with her 8 x 10 view camera.
With photographs created in both black and white and color, the viewer is invited to contemplate Utopia, revisit their childhood, or question why they have not yet signed up for space camp.
This collection of images is also accompanied by text offering insight to the evolution of the project. [Lauren Orchowski]
Nice huh, but all this did was unlock a memory of me playing with a translucent pink plastic water pump-pressure rocket I use to love launching in my yard as a kid…… *counts down; makes rocket noises* *cries*
Halloween, though well known, isn’t much of a celebrated event here in New Zealand. But I occasionally get the odd neighborhood gang of kids with plastic bags wrapped around their heads banging at the wrong door expecting to be given free sweets. …Huh.
“I eat sweets too kids! Go knock on my friend’s house down the road.”
There is one aspect of Halloween that manages to interest me and stops me turning into the Grinch of All Hallows Eve — Wickedly carved Jack-O’-Lanterns:
[In Sweden, the AllSaints’ official holiday takes place on the first Saturday of November. Halloween]
You are no doubt already accustomed with the phrase “mashups”, even Empire Magazinerecognise these as becoming an accepted art form, and even went as far as to compile a list of the Internets 50 greatest YouTube mashups ever. Here is one I hadn’t seen before today — Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi meets Rush Hour:
Though they annoy diehard fanboys and copyright lawyers alike, movie trailer recuts are becoming a refined art. ~ Fact
I think purgatory will be an eternity feeling all the pain you have caused on others. And at the end, you will be given a choice whether you would like to try to live again or go straight to the wheel of nirvana to exist as a lower life form…
There’s an argument as to whether there is actually a message in here at all. No one seems to be able to decipher it and many are calling this a stretch. Well, I can tell you for a fact that animators purposefully add hidden easter eggs into their work.
See the blocks from last week’s episode, “Money Bart.”
Without really trying I think I broke this screen-cap, split-second code. It reads — UFUKIONIUMFKR: I think the E blocks are decoys being the only blocks that appear three times in the three parts of the message. That bright letter U is the start of the message and it reads down, til you get to the purple K, at which point you shift your eyes to the other purple letter, O next to an N (ON) the letter I can also be seen as the Roman numeral for number ‘one’ and is the only block in ‘dominant’ red; the contrast colour to blue. Then the message reads as normal from bottom left to right, beginning at the non decoy letter U, and ending on the letter R. You fuck, 1 on 1 you mother fucker.
Is that a Maggie thing to feel frustrated enough to want to say? (I think she’s a genius) or does this mean I’m just BATSHITCRAZY!!! If you want to argue on this matter I gotta point out that there are 26 letters in the Alphabet and more was to draw blocks than in portrait oblique. I scared myself even further though and picked out the only blocks with unique colours; U,R,O,N, and I… Oni being the Japanese word for, demon! Dun dun dun. Kidding, there are well over 100 anagrams here.
Speaking of batshitcrazy; here’s the most super depressing, unofficial, Simpsons opening ever imagined. I hate it so much. It’s by an underground artist named Banksy, who I’m sure you’ll all come to know soon enough. It’s great, but at the same time, I just find it hard to watch; once is enough for me:
Instead; cheer up with this awesome (my fav) intro:
